SINTEF Ocean has for years developed the OSCAR — a software for predicting the spread and fate of oil spill at sea which is used operationally in emergency situations and for risk assessment...
SUMBAT will be the first step to create the most sustainable battery value chain in the world, established in Norway. The project's expected results and effects Reduce CO2-footprint from Norwegian battery production Commercialization of Norwegian battery industries Enable the emerging Norwegian battery...
...both the total energy demand [kWh] and power demand [kWh/h] for the customer type and different end-uses. The increased knowledge will be achieved through establishing mathematical and statistical methods for calculating both the total electricity demand (bottom-up) and the specific electricity demand...
The objective of the project is to develop a new method for producing better and less expensive lab-on-a-chip systems, e.g. for medical diagnostics. The project is in the field of fabrication of microfluidics-based lab-on-a-chip devices, e.g. for in-vitro medical diagnostics. Such a lab-on-a-chip is...
...cases, integrated thermal energy storage systems are an effective solution to extract excess thermal energy from a process, store it for a given time and yield back thermal energy at a later moment through a passive heat transfer process. The focus of PCM-Eff is on latent heat storage, based on heat absorption...
In SEQOP, SINTEF, NOFIMA and CFEED will assess if selectively bred lines of Acartia tonsa also display genetic alterations. CFEED produces copepod eggs for the marine larviculture industry. Industrial copepod production is a novel business concept still in early stage, and CFEED is to date the only...
...key feature of the model is that it makes precise simulations of how the frequency content (spectrum) of the noise is influenced by weather conditions and geometrical details in surrounding buildings, noise screens or topography. NPRA has recently used Norstøy to produce complete noise maps for all major...
...bones from freshly slaughtered salmon. The pin bones are positioned in the thickest part of the fillets. The bones are attached to the flesh by tendons, and the fillet is damaged or the bones broken if the bones are pulled out without “maturing” the fish for several days. The pin bones are removed by pulling...
...target for 2030 III. The activities Decision Support System (spatial planning tool) that determines offshore wind energy potential and cost in relation to non-wind sea functions and environmental aspects Scenario analysis – addressing OWE potentials – that identifies opportunities for additional space for...
International Maritime Organization (IMO) targets 50% lower annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from maritime transport by 2050 compared to 2008, and even pursues efforts towards phasing them out entirely. The challenge is to substantially reduce the cost of large waterborne transport battery systems...
Hydrogen is considered a favourable alternative for transport and for storing peak renewable energy for the grid. This project investigates the feasibility of a bio-hybrid photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell with modified hydrogenase enzymes as catalysts for local hydrogen production using solar radiation...
...as the number of fetuses, the location of the placenta and the fetus’ development and anatomy. Now, researchers at Akershus University Hospital (Ahus) among others have shown that there also is an association between the volume of the placenta and the risk of complications. However, in order to measure...
...current technologies to produce photovoltaic modules exhibit features, which prevent cost-reduction to below 0,5 /Wp: - Sawing/Wafering and Module assembly is costly and material intensive for wafer solar cells. Efficiency is comparatively low for classical thin-film solar cells (CdTe, CIS, a-Si/µc-Si,...
... Energy Research (FME) seeks to develop expertise and promote innovation through focus on long-term research in selected areas of environment-friendly energy. There are today 11 centres within renewable energy, energy efficiency, social sciences and CO2-management. The research activity is carried out...
The objective of the SOPHIA project is to strengthen and optimise research capabilities, mainly by coordinating efforts on important but precompetitive issues. Large research infrastructures working together will avoid the useless replication of a large number of small efforts. The SOPHIA project aims...
...investigates the potential evolution of the Target Model (TM) for the integration of EU electricity markets that will enable a sustainable, functioning and secure power system with large amounts of renewables. Expected outputs Recommendations to adapt the existing power market design for optimising RES–E...
... Well-functioning tools for forecasting of prices, and the balance between demand and supply of certificates, are needed for this system to operate efficiently. Power-suppliers have to buy certificates on basis of the amount of power delivered, and forward the cost to their consumers. Since the certificate...
...scale Smart Grids, a highly complex optimisation problem. The project develops a prototype optimisation software for scheduling of consumption, storage and distributed generation of electrical power in a Smart Grid setting. This software, named 'PowerScheduler', builds on SINTEF's general purpose scheduling...
Aluminium in cars is a rapidly growing market due to an urgent need for weight reductions to reduce CO2 emissions. Many of the aluminium structural parts and chassis components must be coated to obtain sufficient protection against corrosion in aggressive road environments. Effective cleaning of the surface...
...a new type of compound semiconductor crystal, fluorescent silicon carbide (f-SiC), by applying the liquid solution phase epitaxial (LPE) technology, and to preliminarily examine the feasibility of fabricating the monolithic white light-emitting diodes (LEDs). It is expected to save up to 20% of energy...
